The best view comes after the hardest climb.

This quote appeals to me because it clearly states that when we spend time alone with God, working hard, will result in the desired outcome. When confronted with challenges, we should be aware that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone wants to live at the top, but climbing to the top is the only way to grow. Life gets in the way of a lot of things, some are minor stumbling blocks that only add to the bumpiness of the journey. Other factors may cause a delay or even a detour, turning what could have been a short trip into a lengthy journey.

While the Israelites were going to the Promise Land, they encountered a variety of stumbling blocks. Pharaoh, who represented Egypt, was the first thing that stood in their way.

When the Lord has led you to a place like this, you can rest assured that he will always provide a way for you to get out. It will almost always be in an impossibly difficult manner, and it would be impossible without divine intervention.

Furthermore, that path will almost always take you through rather than around the situation. It makes no difference what stands between you and God's will when the Lord is guiding you and has given you His word. It may appear to be impossible in the natural world, But when the Lord comes through for you and your mountains melt like wax.

Some days will be easier than others, and some obstacles will be more manageable than others, as with everyone who has ever lived or will ever live.

A mountain is an outstanding demonstration of the most immovable of all obstacles. A mountain cannot be moved, but water can be divided or rerouted. To put it another way, a man cannot move a mountain, but with God, anything is possible!

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
